Developer Information

This page contains information of use to developers, such as how the
project infrastructure works, and where to find things.

The project is hosted on buildd.emdebian.org. The DNS is managed by SPI
Inc. along with the other Debian domains. You need a login to make changes
on the buildd machine. Send Wookey an
ssh key for logging in and a preferred login name to get registered.

There is also an irc channel #emdebian on the irc.debian.org
server. This is heavily used for day-to-day discussion and admin.

Currently, the server is on a new colo-located machine donated by
Toby Churchill Ltd and
hosts the website, subversion code, repository and toolchain build system.
Thanks very much to Nick Davidson and others at Toby Churchill for
sorting this out and doing the initial server setup.

Many thanks to Allen Curtis and Klein Henz for
providing server support for Emdebian on the past.

The webpages are generated using WML (do make to generate them
and make install to copy the resultant html and pics into a
suitable hierarchy with a set of links for the default language (english).
The website is in the website module in svn, and is a slightly simplified
and modified verion of Debian's 'webwml' module. This allows multilingual
pages should we ever get big enough to need them. The site is checked out
from svn and regenerated once a day (overnight) on www.emdebian.org
